Jeremy Jauncey: Travel choices - Maldives or Seychelles, Airbnb or hotels?

Let Jeremy Jauncey help you out with your travel destination and stay dilemmas

Island of choice

Maldives vs Seychelles: which Indian ocean islands do you prefer and why?

—Shatapti R, Via Email

Impossible for me to say! I love both and have had amazing experiences every time I’ve been there. Indians are very lucky to have both so close by.

The main stay

Airbnb over regular hotels: what’s your personal preference?

—Royan Rodricks, Mumbai

Both have a role in my travels as I think both are important factors in supporting local economies. I’ve loved visiting hotels since I was little and as more and more I have become conscious of their environmental impact they have moved the industry forward. On the other hand, I love that Airbnb has enabled local people to generate extra income and feel the benefits that tourism can bring to their communities.
